While a portion of the program will support operational restart preparation, a major focus of the campaign is aimed at aggressive resource expansion and testing high potential exploration targets across the property. The program will utilize both surface and underground rigs, split approximately evenly between the two.2026 Exploration Program Highlights – Focus on Upside Potential:San Juan Connectivity and Major Cusi Fault Extension: Surface drilling is targeting a massive, near 600-meter step-out to connect highly successful 2025 intercepts with historical drilling. This targets a newly identified downthrown mineralized block representing the eastern continuation of the San Juan vein across the Cusi fault.San Miguel Blue-Sky Expansion: Surface drilling is designed to aggressively test the lateral and vertical limits of Cusi's cornerstone deposit, pushing beyond the known mineralization footprint.Regional Exploration Prospects: Dedicated meterage is allocated to test additional high-priority, unexplored regional targets across the property, alongside potential unlocked through claim consolidation.Near-Term Resource Growth at Promontorio: Underground drilling will target near-term vein extensions for resource expansion while simultaneously optimizing mine planning to reduce initial development requirements.Mark Ayranto, CEO of Silverco, commented:\"This fully funded exploration program drives a core dual strategy. We remain very focused on restarting operations at Cusi in the second half of 2026 while simultaneously exploring highly prospective, near mine, targets that have the potential for game changing upside at Cusi.\" San Juan – Unlocking a Massive Extension Across the Cusi Fault The most significant blue-sky potential in the 2026 program lies in exploring a major extension across the Cusi fault.
